I get the feeling that any effort to minimize these unwanted cues
(including motion parallax!) would like very much like an artificial
contraption as if looking through a viewer.  (The beauty of artificial
testing is that they can be made without any extraneous cue.)

Which brings the question:  Why would looking at an artificial scene with
only built-in parallax would be any different than looking at a real scene
with only stereoscopic depth information?

 Which brings the question: "what is stereo after all?" :-)
